AB The Youth Lifestyles Survey, 1998-1999 (YLS) was conducted between October 1998 and January 1999 for the Home Office by Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR - who changed their name to the National Centre for Social Research - Natcen - in May 1999). The survey design was shared between the Home Office Research Development and Statistics Directorate and SCPR. The aims of the survey were primarily to investigate offending amongst young people and how this differs by lifestyle and demographic factors and to look at the way the pattern of offending changes with age. This study was the second sweep of the YLS - the first was conducted in 1992-1993 (held at the UKDA under SN 3814), and was reported by Graham and Bowling, 1995. The first YLS therefore gives a baseline measure of offending and allowed for a comparison between the 1992-1993 YLS and the 1998-1999 study to be made. It was planned that changing trends in offending between the two surveys would be examined, along with the extent of these changes. The original YLS suggested that, for men, desisting from offending did not happen until the age of 25. For this reason, the 1998-1999 YLS extended the age range examined to 30, so that offending among those respondents in their late twenties could also be investigated.
